Nwaba scored 22 points (9-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5FT) to go along with nine rebounds, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes in Monday's loss to the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Nwaba matched a career-high with 22 points and also reached 20 points for the first time this season. He's stepped his production up considerably in the absence of Victor Oladipo (foot), averaging 14.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks across four games. While Nwaba isn't likely to replicate this statistical output regularly, he should continue to see an increased role so long as Oladipo is sidelined.

Nwaba will come off the bench Wednesday at Philadelphia, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old had 19 points and 11 rebounds in Monday's spot start, but he'll head back to the bench with Eric Gordon (groin) returning to action Wednesday. Nwaba should still see plenty of minutes since Victor Oladipo (foot) and P.J. Tucker (quadriceps) are still sidelined.

Nwaba totaled 19 points (7-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block across 41 minutes during the Rockets' loss to the Wizards on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

With several key Rockets players missing Monday's game, Nwaba saw plenty of time on the court and did not disappoint. His 11 rebounds tied a career high while his 41 minutes set a new career best. While just missing out on his first 20-point performance of the season, Nwaba has now hit double-digit points in consecutive games for the first time since doing it in three straight games from Jan. 22 to Jan. 26.

Nwaba will start Monday's game against the Wizards, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old will receive his first start since Jan. 18 as Houston will be without Victor Oladipo (foot), Eric Gordon (groin) and P.J. Tucker (quadriceps) on Monday. Nwaba is averaging 7.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in 22.0 minutes across the past five games but should have a heavier workload at Washington.

Nwaba (ankle) posted 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 22 minutes Saturday in the Rockets' 111-106 loss to the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Nwaba excelled in his return from a three-game absence due to the injury, but it took some unusually hot shooting for him to bring value to those who used him in DFS. Still, the minutes were solid, and Nwaba looks like he'll have a regular spot in head coach Stephen Silas' wing rotation now that he's healthy again.

Nwaba (ankle) is active for Saturday's matchup with the Spurs, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the last three games with a sprained left ankle, Nwaba is set to return to the court Saturday. Prior to the injury, he was averaging 8.6 points and 3.1 rebounds across 22.6 minutes per game. Provided he stays healthy, Nwaba should return to his usual role with Houston's second unit.

Nwaba (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Nwaba has missed the past three games due to a sprained ankle but could return Saturday. If he does return, he could be in line for an expanded role, as Christian Wood (ankle) seems in line to be out for an extended period of time.

Coach Stephen Silas said Thursday that Nwaba (ankle) will not play versus Memphis, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nwaba was initially listed as questionable to play Thursday, but he'll ultimately miss his third straight game due to a sprained left ankle. Victor Oladipo (rest) has also already been ruled out. Nwaba's next chance to play will come Saturday versus the Spurs.

Nwaba (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nwaba has missed the past two games with a sprained left ankle, but he could return Thursday with Victor Oladipo (rest) already ruled out. If he's feeling healthy, he could see extra run.

Nwaba (ankle) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Nwaba will miss his second game in a row due to a left ankle sprain. The guard's next chance to return will come Thursday against the Grizzlies.
